The development of self-healing polymers in the field of insulation has attracted widespread attention. Develop polymer matrices with efficient healing efficiency and sound insulation properties to achieve green and sustainable resource conservation. In addition, improving the dielectric properties of intrinsic self-healing matrices has been a hot topic. In this work, we developed a new PEI matrix-modified self-healing polymer substrate that provides a breakdown field strength of 240 kV/mm and self-healing properties at room temperature, this has significantly improved the dielectric properties over other previously reported self-healing polymers. In addition to the abovementioned performance, we found significant differences in thermodynamic behavior in the synthesized end-modified polymers. By dielectric characterization (LCR), the breakdown composite can be left at room temperature for 60 min, and the material can recover 80 % of the initial properties without external intervention(This is demonstrated by the fact that its DC conductivity at 60 min of autonomous healing was significantly changed from that of the freshly electrically pierced DC conductivity and remained around 5.38 × 10<sup>−11</sup> S/cm for a longer period of time thereafter). The microscopic morphology of the modified PEI matrix was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and EDS surface elemental analysis, which further supports the existence of metal coordination structures. These findings can further deepen the thinking of self-healing dielectric composites.
